Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the request by the Leader of the Majority Party on postponement of this debate. Hon. Chris Wamalwa contends that we should continue with the debate.

Most of the audit questions and queries raised by the Auditor-General are then reviewed by PAC and PIC, as Hon. Opiyo Wandayi’s Committee has done. It ...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Transport Infrastructure Housing and Urban Development: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that the China Wu Yi Company has commenced construction work on the Waiyaki Way-Rironi Highway expansion project and largely inconveniencing the landowners and users along the corridor due to blocked access and exits to and from their properties? b) When is the Government compensating the affected Kenyans and for those who had to close down their businesses for lack of access?
